Russia has created alot of Soft Power inside India from Soviet times. They arrange song and dance for Indians. so naturally Indians are attracted to Russians. but what changed from Soviets to Russia is that Russia learned from Gulf Royals and Gulf Royals are the largest employers of Indians in the world. It not just inside this hexagon boundaries. The question arises why Japanese or even Americans could not learn from Gulf Royals?. Putin is so confident that he want to develop Alaska and its resources with US. few decades ago it was Russia that needed US for developing Arctic.

Hell hath no fury, like a Trump scorned.
He kinda tolerated them before he divorced Elon.

Not only getting away with crimes but many US soldiers in the past have been decorated and awarded after committing heinous war crimes, such as those in the Tiger Force who collected ears, scalps, and teeth of Viet villagers as personal trophies, as well as many involved in the Abu Ghraib scandal in the Iraq War, giving them presidential pardons and promotions. USG goes to great lengths to protect it's international criminals. Raymond Davis is another example - a CIA operative who killed civilians in Pakistan; USG falsely claimed he has diplomatic immunity.
The captain of USS Vincennes, William C. Rogers III, who shot down the civilian Iran Air Flight 655 in 1988, was given the award of "Heroic Achievement" on the very same day he pulled the trigger. His trigger killed 290 civilians. In 1990, he was awarded the Legion of Merit for ... check this.. "exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service as commanding officer" of the USS Vincennes from April 1987 to May 1989. You don't make this shit up!
This country rewards barbarism.
It was discovered during the 2003 Iraq War that media war coverage now is just "embedded journalism" - reporting and shaping narratives on the spot exactly how the military wants them to. The best case example of it was the toppling of the Saddam statue in Baghad, showing large crowds of civilians bringing the figure down. However, it was later revealed that the whole scene was staged with very few, if any civilians, and a small crowd made up of US soldiers + contractors.

We really need a new list of US atrocities, especially for the past 10 years. The US media is really good at making people brush over it and forgetting it

With such "leader", the EU has no hope and no future.
So the Trump regime is turning away from Asia, less than 10 years after Obama and Hillary Clinton's attempt to "pivot to Asia".
To me this seems more like a stroke of luck than anything for China with Trump getting into the executive branch, rather than representing any sort of consensus of the US policy & political establishment (at least as of yet) which still seems very much to the contrary. Even most of the MAGA congresstitutes are on board with confronting China, at least without his meddling. Looking at how the US conducted itself during the Cold War, while yes it's not as vigorous or determined as it once was, hoping for something like this to happen (gracefully conceding of their own accord) seems far too wishful. So I'm still skeptical how long this will last.
